I'm new on the site and do not want to break any of the rules so someone tell me if i go overboard. But what it is actually is is an online grocery store with pretty steep discounted prices, you can get just about everything name branded with the exception of cold stuff of course. No shipping cost, no tax. It does have a 3 by 8 matrix, but i'm right now just want to see what the grocery savings will do for me. It launched Dec 22 2009 and at last count had about 6 or 7 thousand in
Sorry i left off your last question, it cost 29.99 a month to be a member
I guess a good way to tell if a MLM is legit is to ask yourself if people would buy the product at the price if it wasn't MLM.
So my queston would be - would people be willing to pay $30 a month to be able to order groceries online? I don't think you would find that many people, but thats just me....

obviously one would have to save at least $30 a month for it to be a good deal
how deep are the 'deep discounts'?

i rarely order anything online because i'm never home to get the package delivered. they just leave a note for me to go pick it up 10 miles away, obviously a waste of time and money.
Getting something for your membership is definately something i want instead of just a matrix. I've done some good research at my local grocery stores including walmart. Here are some examples( you need to be a member to see the entire list)
1.Charmin 6 pack 5.84(regular price in all stores i've been in has been over$8 bucks
2.Brawny 8 ct. 7.14( price in stores have pushed 11 bucks in some stores)
3.Rice Krispies 3.24 bigbox ( 4.50 to 4.98 in other stores
4.Axe deodorant 3.11(3.79 average in others

From those examples given, the discounts don't look to be any greater than when regular supermarkets have the stuff on sale. The sample prices given on My Harvest's website are much lower. I doubt if this would be a good venture that would pay off in savings or recruiting. I'd stick with Costco or the other clubs.
I remember 5-7 years ago there were quite a few companies that delivered food and nonperishable items to peoples homes. They all failed because delivery costs(free or almost free) bankrupted them.
The groceries are much cheaper than at the stores and that includes Costco, Sam's Club or even BJ's Wholesale. It makes complete sense to become a member. The big and only downfall is right now is that it takes 3 weeks to get your groceries, however MHA just took over the warehouse to improve the shipping.
I have placed 7 orders so far and I have actually done a video on my last order which cost me $115.94 and at my local Big Y here in MA the 61 items would have cost $234.05. I save $118.11 just on that one order, makes perfect sense to me.
There is a video that shows the shipping, the packaging and the actual groceries that were delivered. I won't post the link to where the video is, but I'm sure you will see it if you look for it below.
BTW, it will take a long time to make what I consider "good" residual income but it does make sense to save money.

Precisely.... not to mention customer servie for lost/incomplete orders...
First off for paper products - I would go to Costco, Target, Walmart or some other store - i wouldn't get it at a local Ralph's grocery store. Then ask yourself how much it would cost to ship 8 rolls of paper towels...
if it only costs $2 to ship 8 rolls - I would be supprised... And when they only cost 7 dollars - not a lot of margin there.
Just look at the alexa numbers...
If someone can get me a link to the actual store to see real prices - I would like to see what things cost...
You may be right, i'm only basing it off what i saw on the shelfs like at Reids, Iga and Walmart. Walmart was the closest, but on all the 20 items i bought MHA was cheaper on all 20. I figured the savings on that particular visit of 20 items was around 18 bucks. Also Wal-Mart in my area is about 10 miles away. Time will tell on this one, i will let everyone know how its been going. Check the youtube videos, i believe Costco was compared in one of the videos if i'm not mistaken. Get the prices off the home videos, and then go to your local market.
Thanks Mike, i wastyping my last thread as you was typing yours so i didn't see your response. I've heard shipping was a problem since they had to move in a bigger warehouse the first month.It is improving, some people in my upline have got their's in about 4 or 5 days. I believe Fed EX will leave at your door if you are not there, that has been the case with me for everything they have ever brought me.

Unless you lead very unhealthy life, you still need to drive to Supermarket couple times a week for fresh bread, fruits, vegetables, milk and so on. So you can check what is on sale right there. Chances are that most of the nonperishable stuff you buy will be on sale once in couple of months. Beats seating at home whole day and waiting for delivery guy to arrive.

Can a non member see the grocery list (so we can check prices) or do you have to pay before your allowed to compare?
A non-member cannot see the prices unfortunately.Processing is the problem from what i'm hearing, moved into bigger warehouse about a week or so ago. Fed Ex is the delivery method, so they are not part of the delivery problem. If you have some particular items in your house you would like for me to look up, just type them in andi'll look them up for you. They have over 10,000 items and i've heard more is added each week.
If you want to compare it to Amway it would be not be true but then again that's what I love about this site... everyone proclaims to be experts but it is only the few that are actually in the know because they are in a company.
I can speculate about Global Verge, Amway, Zurvita, TVI Express and I've heard all the rumors but I don't know facts about these companies because I am not in the companies.
The other problem is the people in various companies lie about things even when they know that something is amiss. Am I trying to tell you that My Harvest America will be around in 5 years, no, because I don't have my crystal ball with me. All I can tell you is I have received 7 orders without substitutes, delivered by FedEx, dropped off my door and in excellent condition. Those are the facts that pertain to my experience thus far.
Overinflated pricing, you obviously did not watch my video.
Don't believe it is FedEx, again, you obviously did not watch the video I made.
If you don't want to save money on your groceries than don't. This isn't a business pitch in the least, personally I don't care if you order or not, I'm just stating the facts.
The Charmin i listed was for the Charmin Ultra Strong (red label)The Charmin on the Walgreens site is the soft(blue label.) You can get 12 ROLLS of the blue for 5.19 from MHA.I'm not sure about the Brawny, but it again looks like a stronger strength that comes from MHA for a few cent more. Every time i go in Walgreens the prices are high as Hades, you better catch those specials at the right time.
Nope, nothing wrong here. Mike M laid it out very clearly and accurately. Mike's experience is typical of the experiences I've heard from other members and definitely in line with my experience so far.
Yes, it does arrive via FedEx, shipping paid and packed perfectly. The products are fresh; I checked the
expiration date on every item in my first order. I've received 3 orders so far and my savings have been in
the 40% range, and that is in Chicago which is a very competitive grocery market.
The economics lay out pretty clearly, if you spend 100.00 or more on your non-perishable grocery and
sundry items every month, than it makes sense.
to the promoters of this: if the service is as good as you say it is(im not saying it isnt)
why are you using the mlm model? if you have truly devised a way to help people save hundreds of dollars on
monthly groceries, why not let all of the world know? why do u need to use matrixs and stuff?
how about a simple television commercial? if you can truly deliver(lol) what you promise, i dont see why at least 30 percent of all americans would not use your service.
that is...if yoz can actually do what you claim.....

I agree. As someone who has been involved in infomercials and direct response marketing, it would make perfect sense to me to let the masses know as well.
Oh lookie who we have here. It's the two MLM jumpers Mike Mastroianni and Jack Kapala. Don't you guys just feel a bit embarrassed to come in here every few months with a different MLM?
Ok, 'slapping' aside, this $29.99 is similar to other memberships. You have to pay a certain amount to join Costco right? And so you have to save at least that amount to make the membership worthwhile right? (Although I do know people join Costco just to get the 'neat stuff'). So the same would hold true here. You would have to save at least $30 per month on Grocery items to make this break even. On the surface that sounds easy, but remember this company only deals in non-perishables (right?) so you would have to consider your lifestyle. If a good amount of your monthly grocery bill are non perishable grocery items, then you might be able to make this work.
Someone already mentioned this but you would also have to consider whether you can be around to receive the packages when they come in. Or maybe you live in a nice safe neighborhood (is there such a place?) where they just leave it at your door. But either way, a consideration.
I remember 5-7 years ago there were quite a few companies that delivered food and nonperishable items to peoples homes. They all failed because delivery costs(free or almost free) bankrupted them.
You are probably talking about HomeGrocer.Com for one? That service delivered the whole spectrum of goods including perishables and produce in their own refrigerated trucks. That overhead probably killed them. Although "Amazon Fresh" is doing it now days. As I understand it, MHA deals only in non-perishables which for most people is not the whole deal.
Why throw stones Yoda, I'm a full time marketer and I do have multiple streams of income? MHA will not make anyone rich so I don't really even consider it a business and it is the smallest check, of the 6 companies I do receive checks from, but again, it makes perfect sense.
If I had a job and I felt there was a better job somewhere else with another company, trust me I would take it. That doesn't make me a jumper, it makes me aware of my environment.
As far as saving about 30 bucks a month... again you must not have watched the video.
My wife yelled down to me this morning "Mike order more Tide" and I said "why," and she replied "because we are just about out and order some more Jif too."
We know it takes 3 weeks and as long as we know that, and everyone knows that, I will order whenever I can and save some money.
Yoda, you are confrontational by nature but yet we have always seen eye to eye with ITV crap, don't start throwing stones at me just because you feel you have to.
One more thing, yes they do leave it at my door, in fact they could leave a stack of money on my steps and no one would touch it. Not sure where you reside, but in my neighborhood, it is beyond safe and MLM has afforded me the ability to live in such a place to raise a family.
I've received 3 orders so far and my savings have been in
the 40% range, and that is in Chicago which is a very competitive grocery market.
Bullsh*t.
http://www.usatoday.com/educate/coll...ers/news18.htm Big volume equates to big discounts. Nothing at Costco costs more than 14% above what Costco paid.The average markup is more like 10%, Sinegal says, vs. 20% or so at Wal-Mart, estimates Wall Street retail analyst Bill Dreher at Deutsche Bank.
How could you POSSIBLY save 40% off of Walmart or Costco when their markup (the amount they sell over THEIR cost) is only 10-20%?

Oh Really? CostCo sells at an average markup of 10%.... BUT they only cary a few items of each type based on price... And they sell 71 BILLION dollars each year to 55 million members.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costco
And yet some how MHA sells at much lower prices than Costco... I guess that means they are selling most products at a huge loss plus paying for shipping to do it?
the 40 percent claim
is indeed wild. it definitely makes you guys appear to
be deceptive. if people actually are saving 40 percent off groceries per month than certainly the national
media should be contacted, and you should be bigger than walmarts in a month..

There is a reason you can't see the prices until after you have paid them.....
I just wonder what kind of liability these people have for openly using deceptive business practices... MLMs get shut down pretty quickly for crap like this...

Ok OK I get it. You are not embarrassed by having so many MLMs going. But if you don't consider MHA a business, why is it in your signature? And I am not nearly as confrontational as some individuals here, give me some credit!

I am typically pretty calm and don't do a lot of name calling, but when people utterly lie to your face with outlandish claims that are easy to prove conclusively as lies...

The only reason I put it in my signature is so people would see that my 1 order was $234.05 through my local grocery store and I paid $115.94 through MHA which saved me $118.11. That is the only reason I put it in my signature link so there would be no doubt why I am saying what I'm saying about the savings.
I know the attitude of this site and there is no better way to curb that other than proof. Again, this is my experience thus far and I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.
I am willing to fax my order, with the prices shown for what I bought, to anyone that wants it. Send your name and fax number to joinmikem@gmail.com and I will gladly fax it.

As you said, the best way to prove your point is to provide proof. I have proven that Costco claims to sell their products at 10% over cost on average. I have proven that Wal-mart sells at 10%-20% over cost
I think we can assume that Wal-Mart and costco are much better at negotiating price wit vendors than MHA.
Assuming the above it is IMPOSSIBLE for MHA to sell goods for 40% below Costco and Wal-Mart's price unless they do so at a huge loss.
So what evidence do you have? We need to give you a fax number and you claim you will send a copy of your order? Thats how you refute the obvious evidence that MHA can not sell for significantly lower than walmart/costco?

Your caught in a lie.... Time to admit it.
Unless he is subtracting commission that the company is paying for his downline. If he has a substantial downline that are losing money on the deal, a 40% discount could still be very profitable for the company. BUT-- How and why people would participate in something where they are on the losing end of a deal remains suspect.
Mike M, you missed your calling, you should do those pitchmen things. I watched your video and you could easily take over for that dude that died: Mike M. = the next Billy Mays!
Ok, So I could see where this might work but the 3 week shipping time would need to improve.
I am willing to fax my order, with the prices shown for what I bought, to anyone that wants it. Send your name and fax number to joinmikem@gmail.com and I will gladly fax it.
yeah, because scanning and posting an image on the internet is only something those rich folk can do....
you are recruiting. do it elsewhere.

I agree, I know I wasn't pushed over the edge on it, seems a little flaky
Neither. Just sharing the facts, which you obviously are not interested in.
I shared my experience as it occured. I never claimed to save 40% off of Costco prices, you made that comparison. I saved about 40% off what I would have spent for the same items in my local Jewel store. The discounts against the large national buyers clubs will obviously not be as great, but there will still be a savings.
You choose to not like the facts so you resort to name calling. Amazing!
I'm starting to get a little nervous about this one, it's pushing 2 weeks and my order of just 5 items has not even been processed yet. I mean come on, how long does it take to put 5 simple things in one small box and ship? I read where shipping and processing was suppose to improve after Feb24th, but so far it hasn't improved. Hope things turnaround like real quickly.
How can My Harvest America offer less for their products? It's easy. For a traditional supermarket, you have the overhead, the insurance costs, employee payrolls, shipping, stocking and all of the other fees that involve the supermarket industry. Whenever you go shopping, the all prices are increased to cover these costs. With My Harvest America, the product is direct to consumer from the warehouse. It not only cuts out the middleman, but saves you huge amounts of money at a price that could NEVER be offered by a traditional supermarket.
Not only that, but the products are actually fresher and more updated because the lag time a product normally goes through in shipping, stocking and storing is not there. This makes it easier on the warehouse, easier on the people who ship the products, and easier on you. The products are new, highly discounted brand name products. We're not talking a few cents, we're talking major price differences. You can save $40-$70 on average with every order to easily take care of the monthly subscription. The subscription takes care of website hosting, business hosting, customer support, and allows free delivery on all orders.
For 99% of people this will be absorbed many times. You simply take $30 of the money you spent and you can run a very successful home business. In other words, it is practically a free business with immediate benefits BEFORE the comp plan. Your business will have extremely high retention, since almost nobody would want to go back to their traditional, over priced supermarket. Why pay more when you can pay far less without ever leaving the home?
The savings are REAL. So real, that we back it with a double the difference guarantee against every major store and offer a three day window to prove it to you. You can go through every product, every price, and everything we offer for 3 entire days before you commit to anything. I'd say there's nothing to hide like some are claiming. If you weren't happy with the prices, get your money back. That seems fair, open, honest, and fine to me!

Wow... Since you seem to be on the inside...
And since you are so open..
How much does it cost you guys to fed ex 106 pounds in 4 boxes???
As Mike above stated you sent to him FREE and still saved him 50% over store prices.....
